AMAZING TRIP...AND CRUISING IS AN IDEAL WAY TO SEE EVERYTHING. EVERYTIME WE LOOKED OUTSIDE THERE WAS A WHALE...FANTASTIC ENTERTAIMENT....ALTHOUGH MY HUSBAND GOT A LITTLE IRRITATED ABOUT THE LACK OF DINNER CONVERSATION.....SINCE THE REST OF US STARED OUT THE WINDOW THE ENTIRE TIME WAITING FOR ANOTHER WHALE SIGHTING!

OUR FIRST EXCURSION WAS IN JUNEAU CALLED A "FLOAT TRIP".....WASN'T SURE WHY THEY HAD US DRESSED IN THE WATERPROOF GEAR UNTIL WE HIT THE CLASS 3 AND 4 RAPIDS!! I HAD BUCKETS FULL OF 33 DEGREE GLACIER WATER THAT MANAGED TO FIND A TINY CRACK IN BETWEEN MY NECK AND MY PROTECTIVE WATERPROOF GEAR....DRENCHED.....BUT TOTALLY WORTH IT....THE KIDS LOVED LOVED LOVED IT... AND I DID TOO!

MY ATTEMPTS TO GET MY KIDS TO ACTUALLY SMILE AND POSE FOR A PICTURE ARE ALWAYS UNSUCCESSFUL.....BUT THE SCENERY BEHIND US AT GLACIER BAY WAS AMAZING!

A VERY SPECIAL CUSTOMER RECENTLY ASKED ME TO HELP REDO SOME STUFF IN THEIR BEACH HOUSE. IM ALWAYS UP FOR A FUN EXPERIENCE AND THIS BECAME QUITE THE TRANSFORMATION!

FIRST, WE STARTED CLEANING HOUSE BY ELIMINATING ANYTHING THAT WAS A DISTRACTION .....REMEMBERING THAT LESS IS MORE, WE WANTED A SIMPLISTIC DESIGN.

NEXT, THE HOMEOWNER HAD ORDERED 3 LARGE SLIPCOVER SOFAS- BUT WE NEEDED SOME REALLY LARGE PILLOWS TO TAKE UP SOME SPACE....AND THE PILLOWS NEEDED TO COMPLIMENT THE CUSTOM SEASCAPE ARTWORK.

SO, MY WORKROOM MADE EURO SHAM SIZE PILLOWS TO REALLY ANCHOR THE LARGE OVERSCALE SOFAS...THE PILLOWS ALSO HELP BALANCE OUT THE WEIGHT OF THE ART. REUPHOLSTERED CLUB CHAIRS CARRY THE COLOR SCHEME TO THE OTHER END OF THE ROOM...
